Bio-based poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composites were prepared by the solution blending of PLA and silicon carbide (SiC) whiskers. The fracture toughness of PLA/SiC composites was significantly increased with the addition of SiC whiskers. This agreement was supperted by SEM micrographs, which suggested that the PLA/SiC composites show rougher and more irregular fracture surfaces than that of pristine PLA.
